15 stone ftw

Posted in General Interest  by The Carrot

I have now reached 15 stone in weight ftw. It’s now going to take several months to get to 16 stone, at which point I will then start the cutting process (losing the fat) and get back to around 14 stone @ 8-10% body fat.

Chocolate Sex

Posted in Random Stuff  by The Carrot

Mr. Cadbury and Miss Rowntree met on a Double Decker. It was After Eight.

She was from Quality Street ; he was a Fisherman’s Friend. On the way, they stopped at a Yorkie bar, he had a Rum and Butter, she had a Wine Gum.

He asked her name.

“Polo, I’m the one with the hole,” she said.

“I’m the one with the nuts,” he thought! Then he touched her Milky Way.

They checked in, and went straight to the bedroom. Mr. Cadbury turned out the light for a bit of Black Magic. It wasn’t long before he slipped his hand into her Snickers and felt her Cream Egg. He fondled her Flap Jacks then he showed her his Curly Wurly and Tic-Tacs.

Miss Rowntree wasn’t keen to have any more Jelly Babies, so she let him take a trip down Bourneville Boulevard . He was pleased as he always fancied a bit of Fudge. It was a Magic Moment as she let out a scream of Turkish Delight. When he pulled out, his fun size Mars bar felt a bit Crunchie. She wanted more, he needed Time Out. He noticed her Pink Wafers looked very appetising. He did a Twirl, had a Picnic in her Sherbet and finished off by giving her a Gob Stopper!

Unfortunately, Mr. Cadbury then had to go home to his wife, Caramel. Sadly he was soon to discover he had an itchy Double Decker. It turned out Miss Rowntree had been with All Sorts!

XHTML image src protocol

Posted in Technology  by The Carrot

Today I found out that the following appears to be valid:

<img src=”//www.website.com/images/image1.jpg” alt=”" />

The double forward slash at the beginning of the SRC basically means use the protocol that is in existence on the current page. So if your page is running over http the image will be called from http://www.website.com/ whereas if your page is running over https the image will be called from https://www.website.com/

I tested this in IE5, IE6, IE7 and the latest versions of Firefox, Opera and Safari and it seemed to work, although it displayed a broken image in an old version of Konqueror, meaning this is a new addition to the specs or a quirk that more recent browsers have adapted.
